If the party pass an [[Arcana]] check to sense his true nature, the aesthetics of the [[shadow curse]] will be wiped from his body. Subsequently, he resembles more of a typical tiefling child, still with heterochromia intact. Certain classes gain bonuses to this check, while [[Monk|Monks]] can choose an alternative [[Insight]] check. | |||

While "playing" with Oliver, simply walking up to his invisible model will usually cause him to become "found." Automatic perception checks may be rolled, but for unknown reasons, these checks (on failure) don't always seem to disqualify the player from "finding" Oliver. | While "playing" with Oliver, simply walking up to his invisible model will usually cause him to become "found."

After "finding" Oliver for the first time, he will immediately start a conversation with the party member who found him. He will be upset but can be invited to play again which he happily accepts but with but with additional "rules to the game." He says that "you are better than the others" presumably referencing the [[Githyanki]] corpses littered around the house. | |||

Smart idea here is to use [[Potion of Invisibility]] and run to the house. | ||
If the party are able to sneak past his family and talk to him again he will give you the [[Ring of Shadows]] as a prize, though he suspects you cheated but can't prove it. If the party managed to pickpocket the Ring of Shadows from Oliver while he run away during the second round of hide and seek, the party will receive only a mundane silver band (worth 18 gold) as a reward for finding him. | |||
His family will then disappear. Characters with the [[Outlander]] background will receive [[inspiration]] for winning the second round without alerting the shadows. | |||
Once the encounter is over you will find Oliver inside the home where he claims he won, but because you played so well you deserve "second place" which is a reward he freely gives you. | Once the encounter is over you will find Oliver inside the home where he claims he won, but because you played so well you deserve "second place" which is a reward he freely gives you. | ||

Oliver will become upset, summon a portal, and disappear through it. Players can interact with this portal to travel to his new location, where a combat encounter will happen. Should the portal fail to work properly or the party want to travel on foot, Oliver's new location is at roughly the center of [[Reithwin Town]] at {{Coords|-152|-26}}. | ||

During this fight, Oliver will regularly use an ability called Friends until the End, which he can cast up to once per round, and summons up to five [[Shadow Friend]] entities into the fight. Killing the Shadow Friend entities will eventually cause Oliver to re-cast this ability and summon additional entities. | During this fight, Oliver will regularly use an ability called Friends until the End, which he can cast up to once per round, and summons up to five [[Shadow Friend]] entities into the fight.

The party need to destroy the Nightdome to resolve the combat encounter. Destroying Oliver's summoned Shadow allies will reduce the health of the Nightdome. It is not needed to attack the Nightdome itself because it is possible to destroy it by killing enough of Olvier's summons. | |||
